Because Words Matter

What is the World Coming To? AI & Its Discontents (Copy)

Artificial intelligence  is one of the most contentious innovations of this century. For some observers its potential benefits -- for medicine and science, for example – outweigh any dangers; for others, the risks it poses to human agency and creativity, as well as global security, are enough to call for an immediate halt to its development. Journalist Tracey Spicer (author of Man Man: How the Bias of the Past is Being Built into the Future;  Toby Walsh (Professor of AI at UNSW and author of Faking It! Artificial Intelligence in a Human World) and Seumas Miller (ANU Professor Philosophy and author of Cybertechnology, Ethics and Collective Responsibility) debate and discuss these issues.
